Summary:In listening to Louis Armstrong’s “ Satch Plays Fats” album you get a smooth, bourbon street vibe. You get the vibe as if you were in New Orleans at a jazz concert or parade. Armstrong has a very deep voice which is very noticeable in every song. I noticed the instruments played more than he did, which tells me he enjoyed playing his instruments more than singing. He blends his voice very well with his trumpet, the whole album gives off a laid back vibe to relax to. The album “ Satch Plays Fats” was dedicated to “Fats” Waller, and the two artist had many similarities. They both are very entertaining when it comes to there music ,and both are African Americans who sing from there soul. Evaluation:

In listening to the smooth, trumpet sounds of Louis Armstrong it made me understand the strong meaning behind his music. Just through his lyrics I could feel the pain and struggle in his music of what he was going through in the song “ Black and Blue”. After listening to his CD, I realized how others could possibly start to like his music, it can touch you in a certain way. Overall I did actually like the album, in the beginning I never would have gave jazz a listen or even thought about actually liking some of the music from it. After taking the time to review and listen to Armstrong’s music I found a new interest. What I would like to know is how did he come up with his powerful lyrics, I would like to know if he was in the moment when he wrote his lyrics. They’re very simple lyrics but also very deep.

Leonardo Da Vinci Gardner’s Art Through the Ages
Summary:During this semester I took Survey of Art History II and had the privilege to become familiar with many of Da Vinci’s paintings. The painting that caught my eye the most and was breath taking to me was the “Mona Lisa” and his religious painting “The Last Supper”. “Mona Lisa” was painted between 1503 and 1519 in the 16th century. Although it’s a oil based painting it was very popular during the Renaissance. The feature that most people focus on is her eyes, and it is said that Mona Lisa’s eyes follow you in the room. In Da Vinci’s painting it gives off the impression of a dark gloomy night. Although, her facial expression is very plain if you look closely you can see a smirk upon her face. The “Last Supper” is biblically related and is a 15th century painting from the year 1495-1498. The painting is equal and every apostle is giving there undivided attention to Jesus as if he said something shocking. When looking at this painting Da Vinci makes Jesus’ last moments come to life because it looks so realistic.

Evaluation:When I analyzed the painting I came to the conclusion that Leonardo Da Vinci had to be religious himself to create such a spiritual painting. Survey of Art History II helped me to understand the beauty of such great art work through an artist perspective. The class also helped when it came to really going in dept with the artist work. For example, I can easily point out the linear and line perspectives in the “Last Supper” painting it portrays and gives off a 3-D effect.

The Mona Lisa by Da Vinci is very eye caching, literally. Da Vinci made the wardrobe simple to go along with a dark gloomy night because her clothes are a dark, heavy...

McDonald’s consider the environment in its decisions by placing as much cows as they possibly can to increase the rate of production. This doesn’t help the environment and makes it even worse by creating more methane gas in the air. However, they had sustained the amount of packaging in McDonalds, which allows it to use less paper.

...Lose That Fat
Sam Pease could be called the Gordon Ramsay of diets — her
narrative is entertaining, fresh, candid and she is not afraid to
punctuate with passionate profanities. With an honest account
of her fat-shame, Eat Less Crap Lose That Fat is filled with funny,
embarrassing self-confessions about foodguzzling and is the
ultimate guide on how to get slim without the gym.
Eat Less Crap Lose that Fat teaches readers
easy ways to lose weight. Whether you want to
lose 5, 50, or 500 kilos — losing weight is easy
once you have Sam’s secrets.
Five years ago Sam Pease was fat and frazzled.
None of the popular diets appealed because
they preached the same message give up all
the foods you love and exercise for an hour,
three times a week. That was never going to
work for Sam (she despises gyms and is a
carb-junkie), so she had to find new ways to
trim down.
She spied on slenderellas, followed fatties and
developed a diet that allowed her to eat chips,
cheese, and carbs almost every day. It worked.
Within five months she’d lost 28 kilos, without
stepping foot in a gym. Five years later she’s
still a size 8 (and she’ll never be fat again).
This anti-gym diet is a backlash against
traditional weight-loss books with their
unsustainable food-elimination, lifestyle-change
live-at-the-gym messages. Sam developed the
diet for people that hate dieting and exercising,

...FATS
HEATHER FRANKS
SCI/241
August 2, 2012
According to the “Face the Fats” article we have bad fats, better fats, and best
fats. Bad fats are considered saturated fats and trans fats. Bad fat is anything with
butter on it or in it. Examples of saturated fat items would be steaks, loaded potatoes,
and deserts as well. Examples of trans fats would be anything deep fried like fast food
French fries or fried chicken. Better fats are monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated
fat. These fats are better for you and are not as bad on your hear health. Examples of
better fats would be olive oil and canola oils. Polyunsaturated fats contain omega 3 and
omega 6. In order to find the amount of these fats you should subtract your saturated
and trans fats and you are left with mono and poly. The best fats would be the fats your
body needs like omega 3.
Saturated fat is anything that has butter in it. Mostly found in fast food
restaurants. This fat is derived from animal products and comes from dairy, meat, and
eggs. Unsaturated fat...

...Both the French and Haitian revolutions had similarities. There was an unfair distribution of power between social classes. limited liberties and representation, and a large gap between the rich and the poor serving as the main catalysts.
The causes for the French and Haitian revolutions were fairly uniform. An unfair distribution of power between social classes, restricted liberties and representation, and a large gap between the rich and the poor were the main catalysts for both revolutions.
Significant overall economic differences were present between Haiti and France before the revolutions occurred. France was nearly bankrupt by the time the revolution began. Wars with England and the American Revolution had been extremely costly for France. The nation was in debt and the social elite were not paying taxes to aid the dying economy. The large economic strain on France caused heavy taxation of the bottom social class. In contrast, the economy of Haiti was not a factor that fueled the revolution. The Haitian economy was thriving. Free labor from slaves created a surplus of goods.
The social class situations of Haiti and France were main causes of both revolutions. Social mobility was nearly nonexistent in both societies. The Haitian social class system was particularly stratified because it was based on race. The highest positions in the government and military were only held by Peninsulares. Peninsulares were individuals that were born in Europe and had come...

...GOOD AND BAD FATS
There are four kinds of fats: trans, saturated, polyunsaturated, and monounsaturated. Virtually all foods contain some type of fat in them. Most foods with fat have saturated and unsaturated in them but usually more of one kind than the other. The nutrition label on food tell us how much and what type of fats are in the food item. FDA does not require all fats to be listed such as monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Also if food product has less than 0.5g of trans fat FDA allows the item to show 0g trans fat on label.
The first fat listed on nutrition labels is saturated fat. Saturated fat happens to be considered a bad fat. Another type of bad fat is called trans fat. Transfat is a fatty acid formed through chemical process called hydrogentation. Hydrogen is added to liquid vegetable oils to reconfigure the fat molecule into solid fat. Hydrogenation allows for longer shelvelife and flavor stability in commercially baked goods, crackers, snack foods, shortening, and some margarines. Natural levels of trans fat are found in meat and dairy products. Transfat should always be avoided because body does not know what to do with it and will not digest it.
Saturated and trans fat...

...Fat Chance for the “Fat Tax”
Our bodies and what we put into them is our own business unless someone else is harmed in the process. I can understand a tax on drinkers and smokers because drinkers can harm others when they get behind the wheel of a car, and secondhand smoke is a killer of many, but a tax on what people eat is preposterous. People are still going to eat junk food no matter what the cost is; look at smoking, the price of cigarettes keeps going up but people continue to buy them. People already know that junk food is bad for them, but again and again they resort back to it because of the taste. We cannot depend on our government to help us with everything, we need to be independent and learn from our own mistakes, it’s the only way we will grow as a society. The fat tax would not work because it would make the poor spend more of their already limited income, people would still go back to junk food time after time, and obesity is a dilemma that would not be solved by a simple tax.
Obesity and poverty go hand in hand; junk foods are cheap so the poor continue to buy them. By placing this tax we would be taxing the people who couldn’t afford it. Even people that are not obese would be affected by the tax, people like the taste of junk foods whether they are overweight or not. The poor would only end up poorer if the tax was set because even if they did stop buying junk foods, they would still have to pay more money...

...Energy is stored in the body mostly in the form of fat, which is needed in the diet to supply essential fatty acids, substances required for growth but not produced by the human body. Dietary fat is needed to carry the fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K and to aid in their absorption from the intestine. Fats are a group of chemical compounds that contain fatty acids.
There are three main types of fatty acids: saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. A saturated fatty acid has the maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms attached to every carbon atom. Therefore, it is said to be "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. Saturated fats contain predominately saturated fatty acids and are found primarily in animal products. Monounsaturated fats are fats that have one double-bonded (unsaturated) carbon in the molecule. They are liquids at room temperature and semisolid or solid when refrigerated and are found in natural foods such as red meat, whole milk products, nuts and high fat fruits such as olives and avocados. Fatty acids that are missing more than one pair of hydrogen atoms are called polyunsaturated and remain liquid even at refrigeration temperature. Polyunsaturated fat can be found mostly in nuts, seeds, fish, algae, leafy greens, and krill and are of two kinds, omega 3 and omega 6.
Both the omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids belong to a...

...a. SATURATED FATS FROM NONSATURATED FATS
An unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain. A fat molecule is monounsaturated if it contains one double bond, and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond. Where double bonds are formed, hydrogen atoms are eliminated. Thus, asaturated fat has no double bonds, has the maximum number of hydrogens bonded to the carbons, and therefore is "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. In cellularmetabolism, unsaturated fat molecules contain somewhat less energy (i.e., fewer calories) than an equivalent amount of saturated fat. The greater the degree of unsaturation in a fatty acid (i.e., the more double bonds in the fatty acid) the more vulnerable it is to lipid peroxidation (rancidity). Antioxidants can protect unsaturated fat from lipid peroxidation.
Saturated fat is fat that consists of triglycerides containing only saturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between the individual carbonatoms of the fatty acid chain. That is, the chain of carbon atoms is fully "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. There are many kinds of naturally occurring saturated fatty acids, which differ mainly in number of carbon atoms, from 3 carbons (propionic acid) to 36 (hexatriacontanoic acid).
